Physical Therapist, Eugene, OR

May 20, 2024

I was having ankle issues and basically could hardly run at all without discomfort. I've never had major issues in 3 decades of running and this was severely impacting my life.

Scheduling PT through my doctor was going nowhere, so after a year of inaction—and honestly, despair—I decided to find PT myself.

I'm very glad a friend recommended Zenith! It was super easy to set up my first visit and Mike Robinson has been terrific at figuring out what was going on with my body. I've seen significant changes in just a few weeks. Mike is clearly invested in not just solving my ankle issue, but also setting me up to avoid or reduce issues in the future.

I was already back running after just two weeks—really wish I'd done this a year ago.

Also, I signed up for the 10 visit option, which turned out to be a good move. Going in regularly has kept me on top of the exercises, and Mike has adapted things as I've improved.

Could not have asked for better care or results!

The Absolute Best for Athletes

Mariel Hammond, PT is the absolute best! She is thorough, knowledgeable, and inquisitive — she wants to figure out the root cause of the problem and then sets out to fix it. My daughter's knee pain was affecting her ability to compete at her best as a competitive alpine ski racer. Mariel figured out what was causing the pain and then put together a comprehensive workout plan that constantly evolved throughout their sessions. We have seen tremendous improvement in her pain, and she has gained strength and flexibility as well as knowledge to hopefully prevent further injuries. I highly recommend Mariel Hammond, PT.
